Strategy Guide
Strategy Guide[]
|
This section outlines a strategy. |
| Feel free to add tips, tricks and general advice about the topic. |
- The Thunder Burst SMG is one of the most versatile weapons in the game, having a DPS and hipfire spread good enough to challenge more traditional SMGs at close-range, and high enough damage, range, and accuracy to challenge Assault Rifles at mid and even long range. This make the Thunder Burst SMG almost the perfect weapon for a 2-weapon loadout, freeing inventory space for heals or mobility.
- The Laser that comes prefixed on the Thunder Burst SMG makes it one of the best SMGs in the game hipfire accuracy wise.
Counters[]
- The recoil on the Thunder Burst SMG is a little funky at times, so if in a mid-long range engagement, players may miss more shots than intended. Because of this, using a dedicated ranged Assault Rifle such as the Holo Twister Assault Rifle can be beneficial in an engagement with said players, as you'll hit high damage shots more consistently.
- The Thunder Burst SMG can be overwhelmed by more traditional SMGs such as the Machine SMG in close range due to the smaller mag size and slightly lower than average DPS.
